Glossary Reproductive Dysfunction

impaired normal functioning of the reproductive system

This can include problems with fertility, hormonal imbalances, sexual dysfunction, or structural abnormalities in reproductive organs. These issues can affect both men and women and may result from genetic, environmental, or lifestyle factors.
